Explore the reasons for common behaviors of people with dementia and explain optimal care methods
This manga introduces 30 common behavioral examples of people with dementia.
How to assess the behavior of people with dementia
We will explain how to find out the reason and suggest appropriate care.
In dementia care to date,
"When people have dementia, they behave in a way that makes no sense because of dementia."
This was the mainstream view.
If there is verbal abuse or violence, drugs will be administered to lower the level of consciousness.
If you resist care, you will be physically restrained.
It has been chosen as something that cannot be helped.
However, there is a reason for the behavior of people with dementia.
If the attitudes, ways of thinking, ways of looking at things, and ways of perceiving things of the people involved change,
The way you care for them will also change.
The method of care ("measures") depends on the "diagnosis."
In the field of nursing care, it is not uncommon for people to try out various known ``measures'' without any basis.
Providing stereotypical symptomatic treatments is not enough.
If the ability of those involved to "assess" improves,
The "measures" (methods of care) will also be appropriate.
This book provides content that will enhance your ability to "see" things.
We will provide the "best possible measures" to those living with dementia.
